Roma vs Sampdoria Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

Sampdoria are looking to recover from back-to-back losses that have pushed them back into the bottom half of the table. They are up against a struggling Roma outfit, who are already an incredible five points away from the top four. Roma have a 50% success rate over the last few matches and they are also winless in the last three meetings with Sampdoria. Yet, Eusebio Di Francesco’s men do create several opportunities in front of goal. They are likely to struggle in this match owing to the long trip back from Russia after being involved in the Champions League. The draw is an attractive choice for this match.

Roma and Sampdoria find themselves just one point off each other owing to a mediocre offence record of the season. Even whilst possessing top attacking talents like Edin Dzeko and Shaarawy, Roma have only managed three goals more than Sampdoria’s return of 15 goals. The recent meeting between these two teams at the Stadio Olimpico was a tight match and my pick would be for more of the same.
